Tuned in to Retro Anime / Manga!

>>3527
I’ve watched my fair share of material from the 60s and 70s, mostly super robot shows for the 70s part but have gone through the 60s toei animation flicks too. Just started Koutetsu Jeeg today funny enough, opening and ending songs absolutely slap btw

>>3527
Most "retro anime fans" start with the OVA boom of the mid 80s, which I have soft spot for of course, and if they get a little spicy they might go for the early 80s or even 78/79.

HD Speed Racer.

>>3527
Some 70s stuff get a decent amount of interest, the 60s is lacking in subs. 68-72 was a really experimental period for the medium.

>>3528
The first episode of Jeeg is incredibly visceral and full of rich but brutal line work. Nakamura Pro built up quite the pedigree over the years, but they were already a powerful subcontractor at that early stage.

>>3537
Yeah, I'd love to watch more stuff from the 60s, but no one's willing to sub it. I made my anime club watch the first (the only one subbed) episode of Star of the Giants and they seemed to enjoy it. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to sub all 182 of the anime that invented filler, but man, there's a lot of weird, experimental shit in there. I'd like to watch at least some of it.

The first episode especially has a lot of creative mixing live-action and animation, like in this scene (sorry, don't know how to make a video of it)

>>3529
I only started watching late 70s shows in the past couple of years and haven't ventured further back than 78 or so.
I feel attacked.

>>3528
And finished jeeg, watching raideen now which pacing is quite different

>>3586
Now started watching space pirate captain harlock, I’ve already seen his appearances on the two galaxy express movies and Arcadia of my youth but only now got to the television series that started it all.

Hey, Momotaro deserves some love and attention too. It all went downhill after 1945.

>>3529
It's funny, when I started to get more into anime one of the shows I decided to watch was Captain Harlock and to this day I still have no idea why I watched or even how I completed it without stopping. It wasn't bad per se, but I don't think I enjoyed it as much as others did. I was even going hard into it watching 6 episodes a fucking day which mean I finished it within a week but I truly don't know why.

Years later I've seen a lot more 70s stuff, mainly the popular subbed stuff (Joe, Takarajima, Ace no Narae, Lupin etc.) but it's always funny to look back on the first 70s one I watched.

>>3548
Based, I remember showing my anime club Joe years back and while they seemed to enjoy it, a lot of people also commented how it was "very old" and "boring" so who truly knows. I've been wanting to watch Star of the Giants for years but knowing it's probably going to mostly be filler probably isn't a good idea. A shame it hasn't been subbed anyhow.

Look up "Webm for retards" (it's literally called that but might just be under "Web, converter" now). That's how I began making webms back in the day and still use it today, lol. It just works.

I gotta get back to Aim for the Ace!

>>3594
And finished, masterfully crafted series that I feel more people should highly look into while watching old school anime and a good introduction to the works of leiji matsumoto

Do not forget the one and only Grendizer

Time when protagonists and mechs were so epic you actually wanted to pilot something like this, wearing this awesome outfit. Good music too. No amount of Gundam could get even close.

I just started watching this after finishing harlock, have watched the previous two Mazinger installments but I really do like this one, also saw the crossover movie where Great Mazinger gets stolen

>>3614
OH and additionally I’ve also started watching the original space battleship Yamato series, only twelve episodes in and it’s pretty amazing, especially for the time it came out
